Whenever you're playing golf, there's a risk of injury. Just like in any other walk
of life, accidents can and DO happen. The story of Lee Trevino being struck by lightning
while playing in Chicago in 1975 has gone down in the annals of the sport's legends.
It happened as he was on the 13th green, the significance of that no doubt depends
on how superstitious you happen to be.
The odds against such an occurrence are, of course, millions to one, but many more
injuries are much more common when playing the game. Indeed, on average 12,400 golf-related
injuries require hospital treatment every year. A recent court case resulted in
a golfer being awarded damages of almost £400,000 when he was hit by a stray ball.
So what protection have you got if you injured another golfer? Stray golf balls
are an obvious hazard, and of course a golf club wielded carelessly can result in
nasty injuries, both of which have been proved in law that a player is liable for.
And there's always potential for slips, trips and falls which could result in a
strain, sprain or something far worse.
Golf has also become a favourite target for thieves as they know golfers are spending
significant amounts of money on high spec equipment. A full set of clubs, bag and
trolley today is easily worth £1500, but it can be much higher than this; and yet
many golfers fail to have the appropriate golf insurance cover to protect against
thefts from vehicles or the locker room. For as little as £32.99 a year, golfers
can insure themselves against injury and damage to property and theft, loss and
damage of their clubs, providing essential insurance protection each time they go
to play golf.
These types of incidents can happen at home or abroad, so it's essential you have
golf travel insurance as well as specialist golf insurance for playing in the UK
or overseas.
Many golfers assume they are covered by their household policies but a household
insurance is just that, not a specialist golf policy. Some household policies will
allow you to specify golf equipment as an add on to the policy but an extra premium
needs to be paid at a higher premium than specialist golf insurance and won't provide
you with the same level of cover offered by a Golf Care specialist golf insurance
Golf Care offers a range of cover to suit the budgets and needs of all golfers,
providing cover for loss, theft, or damage of golf equipment; personal liability;
personal accident; accidental damage to property; dental treatment; golf equipment
hire, club subscription reimbursement and even a hole in one cover to pay for the
bar bill.
The simple answer is if you're playing golf, be protected by Golf Care specialist
golf insurance in the UK or Golf Travel Insurance if playing abroad.

A Manchester golfer who lost an eye during a round of golf has been awarded
nearly £400,000 in damages.
Anthony Phee who was a visiting golfer playing Niddry Castle Golf Club, Winchburgh,
West Lothian said that he had ducked and put his hand up when he heard the cry of
"Fore". Unfortunately this defensive action did not stop the ball striking him in
the eye which "exploded" on impact. Mr Phee sued both the player who struck the
shot, Mr Gordon, and also the golf club.
Mr Phee commented "I'm delighted at the judgement and relieved that the court case
is over".
"No-one expects to lose an eye when they go to play golf and adjusting to partially
losing my sight has been a harrowing experience. I now just want to move on with
my life".
Mr Phee was walking between holes with his golfing companions when he was struck
in the eye by a tee shot from Mr James Gordon.
The Court of Session in Edinburgh awarded damages of £397,000 with Lord Brailsford
deciding that both Mr Gordon and Niddry Castle Golf Club were liable.
John Woosey, Managing Director of Golf Care, the UK's largest golf insurer commented
"We live in an increasingly litigious society and claims like this are becoming
far more frequent. Here at Golf Care we've been shouting about the dangers and implications
of mishit shots for quite some time and the importance of being properly insured
against a disaster such as this. Whether you're a single figure handicapper or a
golfing novice, we all hit poor shots. I'm sorry but why take the risk when for
less than £33 per year you can be covered. It simply doesn't make sense to take
to the course without the protection of a specialist golf insurance policy."

Uncharted 3
|#571 Subject: Uncharted 3 Posted: 11/05/2012 11:31:52
They updated the gunplay with a patch like a few months after it came out. I didn't bother to try it. Also apparently the multiplayer in UC3 didn't have the same issues from the beggining?
|#572 Subject: Re:Uncharted 3 Posted: 11/15/2012 16:13:32
I bought it way after it came out and the gunplay is still horrible.

Who knows how Sony folks think..
But what happened was that between UC2 and UC3, they changed the game from relying on analog movement and to relying more on static state changes. What I mean by that is that in UC2 you never hit a button to go from walk to run, you don't pick the direction or animation change by hitting one single button, etc. Instead you have walk to run based on movement on the analog stick, and no "sprint" button.
While you change the way you skip to cover, over cover, and between cover without on-screen prompts - instead you see where you can go, and pick the speed you go out of cover, etc, because the character reacts to the movement of the analog stick. What I mean by that is that your guy looks over the cover when you tilt the analog stick if you can jump a particular way, you have another expectation animation if you can roll to the next cover, or if you're just looking around the corner, things like that.
Was many many people who were impressed by how UC2 looked, without necessarily knowing how much animation and dynamic animation state changes were involved here. But you could tell it was organic. Same was for the aiming and shooting animation - it was indirect, in the sense that you aimed and shot, and the movement of the toon affected how accurate the actual shot was. Made complete sense, right? I got a few people who don't normally play games to play this, and the reaction I got was things like this: "It doesn't seem like a game, haha". What people reacted to was that it seemed so organic. You controlled movement, you didn't control "mechanics".
Now - Sony's people, and the ones Sony likes to think of as their "community" - they are hardcore nerds. They are the kinds of people who think a real game needs to go "blip" for effects and have 8-bit textures, or else it's not really a game. And they also have these weird ideas about how gameflow needs to be mechanic instead of organic.
So based on the feedback from these folks, they picked something for UC3 that was a lot more like Call of Duty and Gears of War, with more accessories on the weapons (and the many imbalances that made for the game), and they also chose to have more static animation. They basically dropped all the random splines and made everything the same every time. All the cover animation was gone, and the running and walking was replaced with a click on the thumbstick instead of being controlled with the analog stick.
This makes sense from their point of view, because their hardcore folks hated UC2.
There's also.. the entire thing about how internet lag affects the game. Sony eventually patched out the matching requirements from the game (like they did with all their other games, to allow any player to connect with any other player). And that caused inconsistent gameplay from game to game. And one way to compensate for that is to make the animation more static and predictable, more flat, less assisted. Same with the shooting and aiming - make it less dynamic, and the hardcore folks won't complain even when the game lags.
It's the same thing with lowering the bandwidth requirement. They believe that if they can keep the bandwidth requirement as low as possible, it will allow more people to play the game. While in reality, it just means the game is broken for more people, and looks horrible.
So the way they ended up tweaking the aiming and the twitch movement is directly connected to that. "People" would complain that the game felt floaty, and they just made the aiming more linear, more "responsive" and more like in an fps.
And of course this was gradually then exaggerated from the beta and onwards. Because in the beta, they had a much less twitchy variant of the shooting. They also had matching requirements, which made the game actually playable, etc.
..long story short: The game worked, somewhat, in the beta. It was more arcade and more Gears of War than it was Uncharted 2, of course. But still. Then Sony received "assistance" from "the community", and tweaked the game to what it is now. Which is what makes Sony say, and people who listen to Sony but don't play the game say, that the controls were "fixed" after release. And should now be awesome and the game would have sold millions if those tweaks were only there before the game launched, etc.
While in reality, the beta was held in June, and the game released in Autumn with the borked controls and the non-controlled lag. The game, in other words, released in the broken state it is in now. ND knew that - but they had their internal testing and some game-journalists in to give them positive press (they actually had some guys at the ND studio to "tweak" the controls in "real time", and all that stuff).
So that's how that happened.
They got away with it too, really.
If, by got away with it, we mean they still got rave reviews at IGN and elsewhere. And only some guy on an internet forum hates it.
I'm never going to buy another ND or Sony game because of this, though. I mean... just look at what they had with UC2 in terms of animation. And then imagine them going: "You know what? This just is TOO DAMNED FLUID. Can't we make it look more like Gears of War, and have the action be less dynamic and qte-based!?". That's Uncharted 3, and Sony for that matter, in a nutshell.
|#574 Subject: Uncharted 3 Posted: 11/15/2012 19:21:21
Sorry about novel. Shorter nipsen: "Sony suck. They ass. Like the gaming media. They suck too".
edit: btw, just to put this in perspective - ND's community guy pulled in suggestions from the forum for practically any idea with over 10 "kudos" after the beta. The list of things they added to the game were actively pulled from "the community" in that sense. We're talking small and large changes here. Lots and lots of things that were changed.
Here is thread asking ND to bring back the ping-based filtering the beta originally had. Note - not a new feature, but just enabling something that already was implemented, and which worked just fine. It would marginally inconvenience people in return for making the game actually playable. It has 100+ kudos. There's no reason to not implement it - even if you knew nothing about how online games work, you know just from reading the thread that the players want it. And ND's community guys ignore the suggestion.
I.e., they have a policy going on with world-wide matching. They have that for all of their games. And Sony HQ, or whatever it is, isn't going to change that. They will, however, spend a lot of resources on tweaking a weapon back and forth between each patch, because some random guy played a laggy game and got killed by the same weapon several times in a row.
That's how Sony online games work now.
Curiously, it's also how Activision and EA works.. :/

I was a little bit schocked when I saw this post since I would never say that You believe in God. Why? Honestly, I have no idea, maybe just because in my opinion the majority of American teenagers only thinks about stupid stuff like parties, expensive clothes and so on (I know, such a pathetic and stereotypical view.) But nevermind, after this post I respect You a lot, because not every person would be able to show its beliefs and priorities as far as religion is concerned.
I wish You, Karla, Happy Easter! Let Risen Lord will be in your heart!

happy easter, karla, to you and your family.
just to comment those two comments - theres nothing wierd when religious person is interested in fashion, being religious doesnt mean that you cant like pretty things (i am roman chatolic, so i dont conect religion with modesty like protestants may do)
and easter is NOT fertility worship, it only carries csome pagan traditions and so does christmas, who cares, really, if you know the true meaning...

Happy Easter to you too! :) Hopefully this weekend will make us all think twice about issues of materialism and self-absorption. I knew you were a Christian and it is obvious that like the rest of us, you struggle with issues that all girls struggle with - insecurity and materialism. You know this: while Christ died for our sins, it doesn't give us the freedom to sin so that God's grace and forgiveness may abound even more. God gave you the gift of artistry! Use it to positively impact young people! :) God bless you, Karla!

Thanks, Karla, for this post! I too am really grateful that Christ died so I can repent of my sins and return to live with Him again someday. I'm also grateful for His resurrection and for the knowledge that life is eternal, and the good things of this life will continue on forever.
About the comments on materialism: I agree that we should be careful about caring too much about clothing and temporary pleasures, but at the same time, those things are just a part of this life, and I think it's okay to enjoy them. I seriously don't think God is going to condemn you or anyone else for enjoying things like that. Every person just needs to find their personal balance between the spiritual and the material. Anyone who's pointing fingers and telling someone else to "repent" (or whatever you want to call it) should probably do some self-examination first. We all have weaknesses to overcome (whether it be materialism or something else - perhaps being too judgmental?), and our focus should be on overcoming those, not on telling others to change. I really enjoy your blog and think that you are so talented and cute. Thank you for having the character and courage to post about something that's super personal for you.
Love, April

I'm not sure where I stand with religion and so I consider myself Agnostic, but I have to applaud you for posting this. I think it's great that you believe so strongly in something and that you're so proud of your religion.
Have a great Easter!

I'n not a believer, for me easter has no meaning... but great pic and happy easter to you! Vik

It's honestly so great see someone do a simple yet inspiring post on Jesus Christ. It makes me feel happier knowing im not the only young adult who loves God and isn't ashamed of showing it.
Godbless and happy easter (:

So perfect. Thanks for reminding us of the One who never forgot us.
Have a fantastic Easter!!
On a side note:
I'm saddened and frustrated when people try and put God in a box. Sure, God doesn't wish for people to lose themselves in materialism, but there is nothing inherently wrong with fashion! God is the Creator of beauty, and blesses people with the ability to create and enjoy art within their life. Inspiration comes from Him, and I believe He delights whenever we get creative with design, just as He did when He designed us. As long as our passion is for Him and not for they money we place in fashion, there is no problem at all. It really makes the argument quite funny. Anyway...
God Bless!!

Hope you have a wonderful Easter! Obviously some don't know the true character of God, and so they have false ideas about Him and what he has for us. Hopefully they get a true understanding (as I am in the process of doing) and get an opportunity to celebrate Easter for what it means (pagan or non-pagan traditions included). :-)

Easter = fertility worship
- April 11, 2009 at 5:30 PM
this post creeps me out a bit. Christianity is all propoganda...but if you feel you need to worship a false idol so that it gives more 'meaning' to your life then go ahead!

And, this is probably completely inappropriate considering the message of your post (and the comments about materialism), but...post pictures of your Easter dress/outfit! I can't wait to wear mine to church tomorrow morning. :)
- April 11, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Hey Karla, I have been watching your blog for awhile now, I discovered it on a visit to the teen vogue website, I fell in love instantly with your creativity and your love for fashion, which is mine as well! It is very elegant and very unique.. It is funny because i am also Salvadorian and also wish my legs for alot more leaner! haha idk if it is a Salvadorian girl thing! So since then i been watching you and how your style has evolved, its something totally yours! But seeing this post I felt lead to actually write to you for the first time! Seeing this is such an awesome reminder of the love that Christ showed for us and many of the people who love to be on total opposite ends with God, but i am happy to know that you have believed in him and are not ashamed...like many have said I pray for blessings for you and your family, and that you may rejoice at this time and forever more..you are a beautiful girl, and like scripture says.."looks are fleeting but the woman who fears the lord should be praised"!
God bless Karla!

and it doesn't matter that we celebrate the Risen Lord's resurrection on a formerly pagan holiday. we don't celebrate the paganistic fertility festival, we celebrate Jesus conquering death and sin. and that's what matters. =)
Have a very blessed Easter Karla, from over here in Singapore =)

Hey Happy Easter Karla
Just wanted to say that its so sad that non -believers have to be so mean to those who do belive in Christ. If you have horrible things to say keep it to yourself. Infact it sounds like those leaving nasty messages need some help. Everyone is entitled to thier beliefs and opinions, just be careful that what you say is not offensive, which some of the comments are. How would you like it if everyone here said that you were going to hell because you don't believe in God... luckily we are nice people and respect others views and opinions :)
Soz about the rant everyone, just had to lay a few things down lol.
Nehoos Karla your sense of fashion rocks, keep on serving your God and strutting your stuff!
- April 12, 2009 at 6:50 AM
- Fashion-Maverick said...
Yes..that's the real meaning of Easter!!..
Happy Easter, Karla!!
- April 12, 2009 at 8:11 AM
We are told to memorialize the death not the resurrection. Read the bible. Obviously you believe everything your little bald priest man says.
Why don't you look it up.
- April 12, 2009 at 8:17 AM
Someone above said 'don't put god in a box', I think I'd be more inclined to do that if christians didn't put 'non believers' in a box too.
I'm happy you feel comfortable enough to post this, but it disappoints me that there is yet another place where I am made to feel left out, because I don't spend my time worshipping Christian style.
For the record- I think Jesus was a good guy, even though I don't believe in the 'supernatural' stuff.

Thank you for posting this!
I personally think religion is foolish and increasingly encouraging a false sense of belonging to those who 'believe'. However, I can appreciate a symbol of belief such as this image and what it represents. Please do not make 'non-believers' out to be something which they are not. For a lack of dedication to this 'greater power' to which you dedicate your time and attention does not make us bad people, simply those who do not need an excuse to spend time with their families on this lovely weekend.
Believe in the good of others, not the wishes of an imaginary figure.
- April 12, 2009 at 12:02 PM
"Please do not make "non-believers" something out to be which they are not." I am a believer and I really do not do that, but so many times I had "non-believers" say things like Katie did (btw, not trying to make her feel bad, it's just for an example)- saying we believe in an imaginary figure or that we need an excuse to spend time with our families. Having that happen so many times, it's getting hard not to put "non-believers" in a box of people who say they respect religions and yet they 2 minutes later they call religions stupid (btw, not saying that Katie did that or that all non-believers do it)or a waste of time or something similar. I don't know any religious person that ever said to a "non-believer" that their belief that God doesn't exist is stupid or a waste of time, all were really respectful of their choice. So please, try to do the same when in contact with people who believe.
And Karla, great post :) Happy Easter!

Wow.....love it. At first I thought it was a picture of a necklace then did a complete 380. It warmed a lot of hearts prompting many to leave a post. Every Easter I'm reminded of a sermon I heard ions ago comparing Easter to a new beginning. Forget New Year's resolutions. Easter is the time to reflect and set personal / spiritual goals. It truly symbolizes new beginnings. PS. I liked your comment - great words to live by.

ANA said: "I don't know any religious person that ever said to a "non-believer" that their belief that God doesn't exist is stupid or a waste of time, all were really respectful of their choice."
How about this comment from Erika "i laugh so hard at all the anonymous comments...so sad to know there are so many empty people out there". Charming, huh.
Imagine this. We (non believers) use all of that extra love and time on the people closest to us...time that believers spend on their religious beliefs. I'm not saying that makes you love your family/friends any less but how can that kind of love we express make us 'empty people'. Comments like that really make SOME religious people seem spiteful and small minded.

'Wow too bad easter is really just about fertility worship and has NOTHING to do with Jesus.'
Did you laugh out loud? I sure did. I especially enjoyed the use of the caps lock button.
I know, right? LOL! The only thing more apparent than the blatent rudeness, is the obvious ignorance of this anonymous prigs.
What a bunch of loser, misanthropes!
It's laughable, really!

I have a lot more respect for you now Karla, not because you are a Christian, but that in these trying times it gets harder and harder to admit being one without people getting the wrong idea (you know, that all Christians are extremist judgemental freaks - which sadly is half true). Bless :)

Oh PS to all you HATEFUL anonymous commenters- I have tons of Aetheist friends - I never have put them down for their "non-beliefs" and they don't put me down for mine - respect for everyone, that's what I believe. Maybe you should think that too before you shoot your anonymous mouths off with hateful, derogatory comments. There is room for all types of people in this world - no need to hate on people for what they believe in.
OH and to those who think we love our friends and family less because of God - GROW UP! Love is unlimitless, neither God nor my family is getting the shaft here.

Apollo is an open-source developer test skeleton toolkit for Java Web Start/JNLP. It lets you turbo-charge Web Start apps without Web Start to speed up your compile/run/test/debug/goof-off cycle, avoiding the hassle of stuffing, signing, uploading, or downloading your jars every time you rearrange a comma in your source code.
AppFuse is an application for "kickstarting" Web application development. It allows you to execute a single ant task to create a skeleton application based on Struts, Spring, and Hibernate running on Tomcat and MySQL. It uses Ant, XDoclet, Spring, Hibernate (or iBATIS), JUnit, jMock, StrutsTestCase, Canoo's WebTest, Struts Menu, Display Tag Library, OSCache, JSTL, and Struts. (Spring MVC, WebWork, Tapestry and JSF are also options.)
AppInfo is a small library that provides an easy way to show always valid, automatically updated information about a version of running software in your Web or desktop Java application. It is especially useful with automatic builds from CI server deployed on QA. It currently supports displaying the name, version, build number, and build date of running software. This information is available as text from end application and can be customized to fit your needs. Source information can be passed via environment variables and works out-of-box with Hudson CI server.
Aranea is a hierarchical Model-View-Controller Web framework that provides a common, simple approach to building Web application components, reusing custom or general GUI logic, and extending the framework. The framework enforces programming using object oriented techniques with POJOs and provides a JSP tag library that facilitates the programming of Web GUIs without writing HTML. In addition to being a full-fledged Web framework in its own right, it provides a powerful and simple component system that allows the framework to be tailored by configuring the reusable modules and adding modules only for the missing features.
Architecture Rules is a Java library that allows a programmer to assert code's architecture via unit tests or ant tasks. This test is able to assert that specific packages do not depend on others and is able to check for and report on cyclic dependencies among your project's packages and classes. This project wraps a industry accepted JDepend to simplify the process of maintaining a solid software architecture.
AsDoclet can be used to generate Actionscript and C# files out of Java sources. Such a tool is useful for RIA and client/server applications where value objects are transmitted between server and client as serialized data that should be deserializable on both ends again. That includes remoting technologies like Flash Remoting, RTMP, Blaze DS, Red5, and Hessian.
Associations Indexing Service (AIS) was originally done as an extension of human memory for tagging (storing under personal keywords and associations) resources, URIs, bookmarks, and memos (for fast access to the information in future) by using the same keywords or queries, similar to popular search engines. It can be seen as a local search engine, used as an automatic indexer of big file hierarchies (e.g. personal archives or files repositories). It is based on Lucene, so the application will remain very fast with any size index.
A content management system built on top of the Symfony2 and Twitter-Bootstrap frameworks.
An autodiscovering network observation system.
